I like meatballs in the crockpot for 6 hours on low. After that it starts to overcook. Once it reaches 10 hours, it tastes burnt and cholenty.

Meatballs will fall apart for that many hours. You'll be left with a meat sauce.

I recently tried it, and it got overcooked.
They didn't fall apart, they actually got dried out a bit. I think they're only supposed to cook for around 6 hours.

I haven't tried it myself, but I read somewhere (maybe here?) of a technique to make meatballs in the crockpot. Check with your rav if it's ok. We hold that you can put food in the crockpot if it's completely raw or mostly cooked before Shabbos.

The technique suggested was to make the meatballs and freeze them raw in one flat layer on a cookie sheet. Once they're frozen solid, you can condense them into a ziplock bag. Prepare the sauce in the crockpot and put the frozen meatballs in right before Shabbos. Make sure they're entirely covered by the sauce.

Another option is to look for a recipe for meatballs that get baked rather than cooked in a sauce. You can warm them up on Shabbos the same way you warm any baked protein. You can even make a sauce in the crockpot to keep warm overnight and combine them right before lunch.
